GREAT WALL OF CHINA Remarkable Human Achievement Continue* World Wonder. It is practically impossible for any extensive military operations to be staged in China without having them reach the great Chinese wall at some point. Owing to China vast area, a Considerable war .can be carried or; in regions not contig uous to the ancient wall which stretches across the - country, but it so . happens V that those factions among China's four hundred millions of people which periodically under take to annihilate each dther find the natural field of their military opera tion somewhere near the great wall around which wars have been waged for hundreds of years. It is so in the present rather luring campaigns i the celestial empire. The great Wall of China is really one of the wonders of the world. It stretches for ? 1,500 miles across the mountains and plains, making the border between Mongolia and ancient China proper. One end is at Suchau in the province of Kiang Su, and the other rests at Shanhaik Wan, on the Gulf of Pe-chi-li. There is a north ward extension, or wing, to the Sun gari river. It is the most gigantic work ever erected on the face of the earth for defensive purposes. The walls of an cient cities were mere baubles by comparison with this vast bulwark to protect their fields and cities against marauding Tartar bands? robbers, pillagers, plunderers and cut-throats, to whom the quality of mercy was no more known than were the most inscrutable mysteries of nature. The Great wall is of an average height of 22 feet and an average thickness of 200 feet. At intervals of something like a hundred yards for its entire length, are observation towers which rise 40 feet above the parapet, and in which, for centuries, sharp-eyed sentinels were posted to give warning of approaching ma rauders. The wall is built of a stouti^shell of brick and dressed granite filled with earth. The character of the masonry was determined by the re sources of the territory through which the wall passed. , Where brick could be made they were employed, and where granite was available it was the material used. The outer coating is a hard finish of brick and lime. 1 For centuries, before the advent of dynamite and siege guns, the Great Wall of China was an effec tive bulwark against the marauding Tartars. Its vast bulk defied them for its entire fifteen hundred miles of sinuous length "up hill and down dqle." They could neither go over it nor under, neither through it nor around it. And even now long after it has outlived its usefulness as a barrier against vandals, it is intact for hundreds of miles, so solidly was it constructed by its fourteenth cen tury builders. Railroads run through it at several points, but it is still, and long will be, a mighty testimonial to man's resourcefulness and the * im pressive results which patient toil is capable of accomplishing.?Albany Herald. There does not seem to be much reason to look forward to appreciable improvement to conditions at Clem son college so long as the institution is? controlled by a self-perpetuating board of trustees appointed under the Clemson will and the military feature is retained. The State ought either to control Clemson college or the Leg islature should stop violating the con stitution by making appropriations for its maintenance. Things have in deed come to a pretty pass in South Carolina when the students at an in stitution supported by taxation can not appeal to the authorities of that institution to redress grievances they have without subjecting themselves to the certainty of being sent home in disgrace. The students at Clemson college must do the best they can on food that is not fit for human con sumption and go ahead and keep their mouths shut about it because Clem son is a military institution where strict diseipl+rre-inust be maintained, we are told by the board of trustees. A military college, indeed! Why a military college? Why not'an agri cultural college, as its founders in tended? A military college for the reason that the military feature enables the authorities to dig into the federal treasury for an immense sum each year, albeit the money is spent to no good purpose. South Carolina has in the Citadel at Charleston one military institution, and that is enough of its kind for the State. Clemson should be an agricultural college, under State control. Then there would be an cm! of the un seemly and hurtful wrangles between the college authorities and the students.?Fort Mill Times. E. 0. Ellis, said by officers to have been one of the heads of Atlanta's bunco gang which fleeced hundreds of more than $1,000,000 five years ago, walked into the county solicitor's office in Atlanta, last Wednesday and surrendered saying hi* was ready to "take the medicine." ElHs had been a fugitive from justice since officers put a stop to the bunco operations and during that time he has been in Cuba, Europe and finally in Mexico. It was in the latter country that, officers recently found him, but he successfully fought extradition. He told them, however, that if r.o fur ther attompt was made to arrest him he would come back on his own accord. With th,^ understanding he was left there. Rocently Linder B f'entz. printer, with his wife, baby, cat and goat, traveled in a sixteen foot op?>n boat from Seattle, Wash., to Skagway, Alaska. They covered a thousand miles from Seattle to Juneau without serious difficulties. Pentz paid his expenses with money earned by work tog a fe-w days in print shops at the town* visited. Eight veteran members of the Elks fraternity, inmates of the Elks home at Bedtora, Va., died Monday night after drinking- fresh eider, poisoned it is believed by being placed in a barrel that had previously been u us a container for a spraying com* pouiyl.
